Two Male Lions Were Spotted Making Sweet, Sweet Love in Botswana

Two male lions were spotted by photographer Nicole Cambré while they were "mock" mating in the Lagoon area of Botswana.

"It is the first time I have seen homosexual behaviour in lions but when reading about it upon my return, it is not that uncommon. With the light just around sunset, it gave some spectacular images," Cambré told the Huffington Post.

As Cambré stated, the behavior is not entirely unusual and is done to reinforce male bonding and loyalty among lions in a pride—a fact that a quick Google search confirms. In fact, homosexual behavior among animals has been documented in many species, though the reasons for it are varied. And who are we to tell them who to love?
